Thinking About Doing Your Estate Plan for Free?
You can build one online — but DIY tools don’t know your tax situation or Arizona law, and small mistakes can cost your family later. Get our free Arizona Estate Planning Guide and a no-pressure look at whether DIY is right for you.

A template can print a document. It can’t ask about your Arizona property, your retirement accounts, or the child you’re worried about. Here are the four gaps we find most often — and what we do instead.
They don’t account for Arizona law
Online forms are written to work in all fifty states, which means they’re written for none of them. Arizona is a community property state with its own rules on witnesses, notarization, and beneficiary deeds — and a document that ignores them can be challenged or thrown out.
They don’t consider your taxes
A questionnaire doesn’t know that inherited retirement accounts are taxed differently than a house, or that how you title an asset changes your family’s capital-gains bill. Templates optimize for paperwork, not for what your heirs keep.
They don’t fund your trust
This is the most expensive DIY mistake we see. Signing a trust does nothing on its own — the deed, accounts, and beneficiary designations have to be retitled into it. An unfunded trust sends the family straight to the probate court it was bought to avoid.
They don’t adapt when your life changes
A PDF from four years ago doesn’t know about the grandchild, the divorce, the move to Mesa, or the rental property. Beneficiary forms and stale documents quietly override your intentions, and nobody notices until it matters.

Can I just do my estate plan for free online?
You can, but DIY tools don’t know your tax situation or Arizona law, and small mistakes can cost your family later. We catch what a template misses — often for less than people expect.
What happens to my property if I die without a will?
Arizona’s intestacy laws decide — not you. The state follows a set formula for who inherits, which may not match your wishes and can mean probate, delays, and family stress. A will puts you back in control.
I already have an estate plan but it needs updating — can you help?
Absolutely. Plans should be reviewed after any big change — marriage, divorce, a new child, a move to Arizona, a large purchase, or a death in the family. Bring us what you have and we’ll find the gaps.
